Hey guys,


I uninstall everything. Then, I tried to install "itunes6464.setup" with administrator privileges but I’m still getting this error “Service ‘Apple Mobile Device Service’ (Apple Mobile Device Service) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services.”

Do you guys know what to do? Thanks for the help.

I had the same or similar error. If I attempted an install of just this service with logging I them got error 1920 from the msiexec log files.


Turns out (in my case) it caused by the wrong version of msvcr100.dll in the windows\system32 folder. This was on a 64 bit version of windows7. The version in this folder is supposed to be a x64 version of the dll, but was a x86 version instead. I used the sysinternals process monitor to find out the cause (for my situation). - See https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/a0a2608a-3102-40f8-93ce-2 53d08d91406/32bit-version-of-msvcr100dll-is-installed-in-64bit-cwindowssystem32- directory?forum=vcgeneral


The solution is to first rename this dll e.g. to msvcr100.x86.dll and to then to download and re-install the


Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)


using this link http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523


You may also want to install the 32bit/x86 version of this package too.

Once you have done this the service will start and you can re-install/repair iTunes.

100% Sure



1 - Open your browser, Go to google and type"Download iTunes 64 bit for older video cards"

2 - Based on search results choose a website to download the file


3 - Make sure the download file is coming named as " iTunes64Setup "


4 - Install the iTunes


5 - Done



OBS: iTunes64Setup and iTunes6464Setup are not the same

iTunes64setup - Supports old video cards (standard)
